Last night I decided to try out the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on the intreior of my car. I have the tan perferated leather with dark brown dash etc. I had so called "cleaned and conditioned" before with various liquids and the such. I actually thought that the color of my leather was supposed to be the shade it was. Well, I was WRONG. I used the magic erasor first on my drivers seat and watched as the black crap lifted up and adhered to the sponge, then wiped off the excess lifted dirt with a damp rag.It went from coffee to light kahki! Right before my eyes. The best part is that long cracks that we get on the outer edge of our leather almost completely disapeared, as in the black dirt that gets cought in the crevices completely came out! I have NEVER been able to acheive this, even be scrubbing! I also had a long streak/scuffmark from someones shoe that nomatter what did , simple greer/goo gone etc, never came out. This magic eraser got it out- that lone was worth the cheap price of admission. Whats more, ya know how the light tan door panels, especially by the handle get that dirt in the pores of the vinyl and gives a dark cloudy appearance in that area? Well, lets just say that my door panels look like a brand new car. I also got a new steering wheel too. I did the dash as well which i didnt think was even dirty and my dash looks amazing- just like a new car. I would equate this with claybar for your interior. You don't even know your car is dirty until you see it REALLY clean. As you use the product it disintigrates. (You will probably use about 3-4 of them to do the entire interior (less id you don't have leather) Each "erasor" as about the size of a sponge. They are cheap too! 2 dollars for a two pack. but dont use it on the black plastic part of your dash, i.e. the radio bezel and shift gate, as it states on the box that it could hurt the finish. Anyway, try it out- I think this is an awesome product especially at 2 for 2.

 

lol nice repost, sounds like i should get this mr clean magic eraser, i also have the tan leather seats, ya like you said it's really hard to clean it,im gonna give mr. clean magic eraser a try and see how it goes, thanks for posting your experience with it and maybe it might make our lives easier ^^

 

I just saw a 4pack for $4.59 can't go wrong... unfortunately i left my wallet at work

 

it works on leather and plastic nicely, but you have to put conditioner back on the leather. 3M has the same thing.

 

I still cant beleive how much dirt came off my leather. The towel used to clean up the dirt it pulled off, was dark brown when i was finished.

 

Now there's a product I should buy before I get the Maxima on the road. There's so much that needs to be cleaned, and I guess before I condition the leather, and after I clean it, I should go ahead and do that. I think I'm going to be shocked at how much comes out, due to it never really having been cleaned or conditioned prior to me having the car.

 

go onto their website and they'll send u a free one in the mail!

if you have a black car it leaves white streeks everywhere

 

there not sending samples anymore =(

 

Man, that is a sick looking 4th gen! Great looking wheels - and the first I've seen of them. Where'd you purchase?

 

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser IS GOD! Thanks so much, this product improved everything in my 96 Max with Tan Leather. I will live by this product now. Thanks!

 

You are quite welcome

 

i have used it on my black leather and it totally takes off the finish... not very good for black leather imo. i tried it on my dash, leaves some kinda film on top, needs rub that out with a damp towel. makes more work for you in the long run

 

My girl tried this on our fridge and it worked great. I don't have leather but trying it on some of the "arm dirt" that's perpetually stuck on my (tan) door is a great idea...I'll have to try it.

 

You can get an 8-pack at SAM's for less than $7

 

I don't think that's the "finish" thats coming off, but rather the oily dirt that was embedded. You may have just thought it was the finish. And yes, you must go over it with a damp cloth. YOU ALSO MUST recondition the leather afterward. It basically sucks the leather bone dry. Hope this helps.

 

Sweet, I should try this. I also need it to remove some pencil marks on the house walls from when we networked the house and accidentally drilled into a stud

 

I just used this on my frost interior 5th gen, my god how much dirt came out of the dash alone. The car looked clean inside, but i just wiped down the dash and most of the plastic inside and it looks great. Run your hand over an area you cleaned with it and one you thought was clean. You can feel its so much smoother after wiping it with the eraser. I have only cleaned the drivers seat with it so far, but it took out all the black from the grooves of the seat. There was black around the lumbar support handle that just instantly wiped away. After I cleaned the seat i used condtioner on it and it feels much nicer then before. I need to clean the rest of the seats now, but my hands are dead from rubbing.

 

yea i tried it on the white fridge door handles when i forst got it and it works awsome! mr. clean is commming out with somne tight cleaning crap latley!

 

so... from what i have read... is this stuff only goof for tan leather? i have black and it sounds like it works good with tan.. what about black? bomt697 didnt seam to like it on his black leather any one know?

 

Try it and find out. I don't know how it could be bad for it.

 

Wow, once again the eraser hasnt seen anything it cant do. I accidently got some of that black adhesive from the taillights on my passenger seat (dime size amount). I couldnt get it off with anything, reached back behind my seat to get the eraser, and after about 30 seconds, it was gone. Truly amazing!

 

I have some really complicated rims that take close to an hour each to fully clean (brake dust, dirt, some greasy layer that doesn't come off easy) and shine so I've been procrastinating on cleaning them for almost 2 months. used a couple erasers and got each done in about 20 minutes!!

 

So I tried this thing this weekend to see if it would clean the dirt buildup from the texture in my (tan) interior vinyl. It worked GREAT. I can't beleive how clean the vinyl is now...like showroom.

The only thing to be careful about is that this thing is definitely abrasive. It's almost like a really really really soft scotchbrite pad. That means that using it constantly to clean sensitive items like vinyl is probably not the best idea. I would say it's a once a year or once every couple years thing on stuff like that. You also *have to keep it away from shiny surfaces.

Using it to clean rims isn't a bad idea. I used scotchbrite on my stock rims because I was desperate and nothing else worked (I know, it's still bad). I would be VERY careful about marring the surface, but if you have baked on brake dust these things might be a decent solution to avoid something more abrasive.

Pretty incredible little thing. Car seems to smell a little cleaner now too since all that gunk is gone. Very nice for rehabbing old dirty vinyl.

 

my mom is obsessed with these things, im gonna jack one the next nice day we have and do my interior, its got some odd marks and i dont know where they came from.

 

We had a 4 pack of magic erasers in the closet for probably 2 months, and had never even opened the box. After reading this thread, I decided to break them out.

Not too shabby - notice the strip down the middle that I cleaned:


I know it's hard to believe as bad as they look in this pic, but I didn't even think they were all that dirty until I started cleaning them.

We just bought a house, so started cleaning some pesky stains around the existing [rental] house as soon as I finished my seats, and these things are now a household favorite.

Just picked up 2 8-packs at Sams for 6.77/each.

 

exactly how i felt

see some of my pics here:

i didn't thionk they were that bad, but then it's like a whole new color came out from undernearth the dirt

only complaint is that the magic erasers lose their function very fast.. have to use a lot of them

 

how long and hard did you scrub to get all that dirt out? i used them on my moms maxima, and she doesnt take the slightest care of her car so i take it into my own hands. i tryed the Mr. clean M.E. and it worked but not as well i thought it would.. should i scrub harder and longer?

 

I used it wow good call worked great

 

Are these sold with car cleaners or household cleaners?

 

household...at least that's where they are in my grocery store.

 

I found them at walmart next to the laundry stuff.

 

they can be found at Walmart (like BlueC) wrote..and Costco as well. Costco sells them in packs of 8.

OH, a quick remedy with the ME (Magic Eraser) wearing out...What i do is take an xcto knife and cut it in half equally (like you're filet a fish) from one end to the other, bascially making one 1 ME perform like 2 ME's.. it works for me.
